The left goes all out and stoops lower than ever to smear and shout down General David Petraeus, the man in charge of the American forces attempting to stabilize Iraq. And the cartoonists of the Right rally to defend America’s champion and expose the Left’s crassness. (My own thoughts on why this may be.)

If you’re a newcomer to the topic, first go to to MoveOn.org for the ad’s sponsors and to see the high-res PDF of the original ‘Betray Us’ ad which caused a stir and an outcry against its petulant childishness. Pictured as jpeg below:

Then read why the Right are righteously indignant at the rudeness offered the military man of honour. Michelle Malkin sums up the Left’s abuses best: Part 1 and Part 2. (See the first Day by Day cartoon about Code Pink’s disruptions below.) Updates on MoveOn criticism at No, let’s NOT “move on”.

For Petraeus’ report on the effectiveness of the US military surge, you can read a summary and view the graphs used at Wikipedia.

Note that Time.com did not publish any cartoons protesting the smear against Petraeus – only more cartoons mocking Bush’s plans for troop reductions. You can see where a publication’s political opinions lie from its editorial cartoons.

And if you’re doubtful if terrorists are really being stopped and not sure which side – order or terror – is superior and winning, these pics and videos should help you definitively decide who has the advantage… Because there have been More Than 23,000 Terrorists Killed!PWNAGE!!!

And now, for the mocking of the Left’s mocking! (Most images can be enlarged by clicking):
